Whooshh Innovations

Join Whooshh Innovations CEO Vincent Bryan III this Saturday, August 22, 2026, at the inaugural SOAR Festival to be held on The Hilltop above the Columbia Gorge near Quincy, Washington.

The vision is to bring together world-class music, science, environmental stewardship, and human potential in one extraordinary setting 900’ above the Columbia River. See below for details and get tickets here: https://thehilltop.org

Dear Friends and Investors,

I would like to personally invite you to join me on Saturday, August 22, 2026, at the inaugural SOAR Festival to be held on The Hilltop above the Columbia Gorge near Quincy, Washington. The vision is to bring together world-class music, science, environmental stewardship, and human potential in one extraordinary setting 900’ above the Columbia River. https://thehilltop.org

As part of the VIP event, I will be delivering a TED-style presentation titled "Where Technology and Ecology Meet: A More Natural Way Forward," exploring how innovation can help restore ecological connectivity, improve fish passage, and unlock new opportunities for clean energy and environmental stewardship. The talk is based on the work we have been building together and the vision many of you have helped support over the years.
There are two ways to participate:

VIP Experience (Limited Availability)

Only 250 VIP seats are available. Check-in for the VIP experience begins at Noon and includes:

A peak into the future of The Hilltop from architects to artists
TED talk-style presentation beginning @ 2:45 p.m.
Access to the VIP gathering and dinner @ 4:30 p.m.
An opportunity to spend time and be seated with fellow supporters, community leaders, artists, scientists, and innovators, or if you prefer, bring a crowd and reserve an entire 8 top table.

A chance for us all to connect in person over a delicious catered meal

VIP ticket holders evening concludes with preferred reserved seats for an evening of extraordinary musical and intimate live theater performances at Stage B (see the hilltop.org for details).

Stage B Performance-Only Admission
If your schedule is tight or you simply want to enjoy the performances and experience the festival, without the VIP benefits, show-only tickets are also available. You should arrive by 6:00 p.m. and gather near Stage B. You may also pre-order a meal to enjoy before the show. Although you’ll miss some of the VIP experience earlier in the day, we will all come together to Stage B to enjoy the celebrate the outstanding talent assembled.
For me personally, my talk will be more than a presentation. It is an opportunity to share a vision for how technology, ecology, and human ingenuity can and must work together to solve some of the world's most challenging problems of the day. I would be honored to have many of the people who have helped support that journey at Whooshh in the audience.

Most importantly, I look forward to seeing/meeting you, spending a little time together, and catching up between activities and performances. If you plan to come to either the VIP experience or show, let me know in advance by sending a short message to [email protected].

P.S. While Whooshh Innovations is not a sponsor of the event, if you are considering attending, I encourage you to get your tickets this week. With only 250 VIP seats available, and limited show tickets, all our investors together could fill up the venue!

The "FALCON" has landed! Our modified Lampway system has been installed in the water below Cougar Dam in Oregon. The system is being studied by CRITFC, USACE, and Cramer Fish Science to assess durability & suitability at locations where lamprey passage is an issue, such as below Columbia River dams.

Not every fish should make it upstream.

It may sound controversial—but it's one of the biggest challenges facing river restoration today.

For years, fish passage has focused on one goal: helping fish bypass dams. But when invasive species are given the same access as native fish, restoration efforts can be undone.

That's why selective fish passage represents a fundamental shift. Using AI-powered identification and automated sorting, we can protect native fish while stopping invasive species from expanding into fragile ecosystems.

Conservation is evolving. The technology is here. And the impact could reshape the future of fisheries around the world.

A More Natural Way Forward (Part III) - Whooshh Passing all fish isn’t natural. Selective fish passage protects native species, reduces predation, and restores balance in rivers altered by dams.

What does a "natural" fish passage solution really look like?

For too long, we've measured success by whether fish make it past a barrier—not by the impact the journey has on the fish themselves. Traditional methods often involve handling, delays, stress, and energy loss that simply don't exist in a natural river system. It's time to rethink what fish passage should be. 🌎🐟

A more natural approach allows fish to move on their own terms—without traps, handling, or unnecessary obstacles. By reducing stress and shortening migration times, we can improve survival, protect spawning success, and help restore healthier fish populations for future generations.

A More Natural Way Forward (Part II) - Whooshh Explore a more natural approach to fish passage—reducing stress, restoring movement, and respecting fish while improving migration outcomes.

For too long, we've approached environmental challenges by asking nature to adapt to our infrastructure.

What if we flipped that thinking?

What if our infrastructure adapted to nature instead? https://www.whooshh.com/a-more-natural-way-forward/

By creating technologies that work with natural fish migration patterns—not against them—Whooshh is proving that economic growth and environmental stewardship don't have to compete.

Our innovative fish passage systems help restore ecosystems, support biodiversity, and unlock the potential of existing hydropower infrastructure—all while respecting the natural rhythms that have sustained our waterways for generations.

The future of sustainability isn't about choosing between progress and preservation.

It's about designing solutions inspired by nature itself.

As demand for clean energy grows, the companies that succeed will be the ones creating technologies that align with the environment rather than disrupt it.

A More Natural Way Forward - Whooshh In my last post we explored a powerful truth: there is enormous untapped energy already embedded in the hydropower infrastructure we’ve built. The opportunity isn’t to start over—it’s to do more with what we already have. But that insight leads to a deeper question: If we can unlock more fro...

We agree, and that's why we offer flexible and adaptable, modular systems like the PassagePortal, NightFlight, FollowGuidance, and FishlRecognition.

Why restoring rivers isn't enough: New research shows fish are evolving in response to human-made rivers This new international study is calling for a major rethink of how rivers are managed, arguing that fish are not just passive victims of environmental change but active participants in a feedback loop that can reshape entire river systems.

The technology is here. The opportunity is real. Now you can make it happen.

Today - Whooshh Innovations is releasing an interactive Hidden Hydropower Value Calculator — a free, browser-based tool that allows any dam owner, utility, regulator, or investor to input their facility’s specifications and instantly see how much additional power generation and revenue they’re leaving on the table by running conventional fish ladders.

The numbers are astounding -- see what's possible for yourself.

Unlocking Hidden Hydropower - Whooshh there are hundreds of megawatts of clean energy locked behind fish ladders across America — power that could be generated today, without building a single new dam, without a single new environmental permit for generation, and without a single additional drop of water
